Looking good. I need to get some updated pics from my tank up. I went through a bad algae bloom and it was looking nasty. I was running straight water from my well that had been through a softener. About a month ago I got an RO unit and have transitioned to RO water. I was changing 15 gallons a day straight RO water to get it converted over. Now I am changing 20 gallons a week (15 RO and 5 gallons from the well, outside and not through the softener). Since doing this my plants look a lot better. My general hardness is around 3 (it was zero with the soft water) and my TDS are around 100. My pH still floats around 8.2 but it has always been stable. I have 4 albino BN plecos and about 12 assorted cory cats. I just ordered 30 cardinals that will be here on Thursday. I am hoping that 20 or more survive. After they have a few weeks to settle in I plan on getting a couple rams and then about 6-8 small angels. I'm hoping to get them small enough that my cardinals have time to grow out while the angels are still small.
In the beginning I lost a few cory's but with the RO/well water everything looks good. The water is still a little dark from the tannins which I don't know if I like or not, but I think the angels will like it.

Not sure if the pic will come up or not, having trouble getting it from the gallery. Anyway I ordered 8 angel fish from a breeder that should be here in the next couple days. I have 30 cardinals in the tank, 4 BN plecos, and about ten various corry cats. I plan on adding some rams soon.

I was just checking out my tank after a did a WC and the last piece of DW I looked at I just had to get a pic of it. I thought I was down to 3-4 but I guess I was wrong.

Ha ha nice find

Awesome Looking Tank, The Shrimp Look Great, And They Seem To Be Striving

well I have been having some algea problems but I think I am starting to get it under controll with raising my CO2 and getting my fert dosing up to par, I think.

Yeah it looks like you had some green water which is a pain unless you add UV or micron filter. Glad to see everything looks pristine again....whoops that's not your tank...it's Flyin-Lowe's. Hopefully he's got it under control. LOL

BTW watch out if those are "onions plants". Not sure the technical name for the one on the front right. They have a bulb and then roots that will extend the whole length of the tank. Was a pain to remove once they were fully grown.
